J. W. MCCARTNEY
James William McCartney was born in Wichita, Kansas, on July 6, 1876, and departed this life on April 17th, 1950, at the age of 73 years, 9 months and 11 days.

He was married on October 28th, 1903, to Sarah Olive McCollough at the McCollough home near Rossville. Rev. Nelson of the Rossville Presbyterian Church was the officiating minister. For some time Mr. McCartney was engaged in survey engineering. In 1928 he and his wife went into the hotel business at Kingman, Kansas, where they resided until 1937. They located and entered the same business at Parsons, Kansas, where they remained until the year of 1946 when they retired and moved to Chanute, Kansas. Mr. McCartney made many contacts thru the Hotel Assn., and formed many friendships, being a staunch believer in the Golden Rule which he also practiced. He was always interested in Christian work, channeled mostly through the Presbyterian Church. Ministers were always frequent visitors and guests in their home, especially the Rev. Dr. Shaw of Chanute.

Mr. McCartney was a patient, uncomplaining sufferer for the past three years when he became afflicted with an artrial disease. After becoming too ill to be any longer cared for by his faithful wife, he was taken to a hospital where death finally released him from his suffering.

He is survived by his wife, four nephews, four nieces and a host of friends.

The body was brought to Rossville Wednesday, April 19th for burial in the city cemetery.
